About this map

The Norfolk and Western railway corridor defines the industrial and social development of this border region between West Virginia and Virginia. In the north, the historic coal-producing settlements of Bramwell, Coaldale, and Maybeury follow the tight valley topography along the Coal Heritage Rd. The landscape is notably dense with family and community burial grounds, such as Mt Tabor Cem and Hollinsworth Cem, reflecting generations of settlement in the hollows and along the ridges like Coaldale Mtn.

South across the state line, the character of the terrain shifts near the Falls Mills Lake and the community of Falls Mills. Landmarks such as Pinnacle Rock and the Trl of the Lonesome Pine indicate the area's transition into more prominent recreational and geological features. The presence of National Coll near the southern boundary and the Nemours PO underscore the mix of education and essential services that supported the local population centers of Bluefield and Pocahontas.
